These are not the best quality photos. This baby Hippo got separated from its mother. It joined me and my friend Johan Ebersohn at the braai,swam with us, slept with us, took a couple of showers with us (to keep its skin moist). The next morning we took him to the river, where a huge old croc immediately wanted to come and investigate. We chased the croc away and the hippo swam to the opposite bank of the Limpopo River, where it met up with a group of Hippo.
